Israel uses American aid to help it deter or defeat agression from more populous Arab powers.

Is THAT what Israel is doing now, with the jet fighters other military equipment that US finances for it?

Which aggressive and populous Arab countries is Israel fighting right now? I would be very interested to know.

The smaller Israel's population is the greater its need for aid would be.

That is not logical - if there was only one Israeli left in Israel, would he need all the money in the world?

In fact, quite the opposite is probably true - The higher the population of Israel (imagine more immigrants from Russia, Europe, US, etc), the higher their need to build settlements into lands that are outside their boundaries will be. That will increase the military power they will need to occupy and oppress the additional people they have have deplaced and/or royally pissed off. Hence, more money needed from the American taxpayer.
